Her mother is working, her father is reading the newspaper, her brother is playing cricket, her neighbor is shopping, and her teacher is focused on math lessons. The people around her are constantly pressed for time, tired, and irritable, leaving no room for fanciful tales. However, a turning point arrives with the appearance of Didi, a kind-hearted individual who is neither a teacher nor a student but a friend to both. The little girl, sensing Didi's warmth and gentle smile, shyly approaches her and asks if she has a few minutes to tell a story. Much to her delight, Didi agrees and asks what kind of story she would prefer. With wide, anticipatory eyes, the girl requests a story about a lion. Didi then settles in the school verandah and begins to weave a vivid narrative about a small lion lost in the jungle. The girl listens intently, completely captivated by Didi's storytelling. The tale is so immersive that the girl can almost feel the jungle's wind through the trees, hear the rustling of the tall grass, and sense the soft fur of the lion cub, transporting her entirely into the world of the story and highlighting the profound impact of shared narratives.","City of Stories Rukmini Banerji  \nBindia Thapar  \nThere was once a little girl who lived in one of the BIGGEST and BUSIEST cities in the world.  \nShe really loved stories. But everyone she knew was too busy to tell her stories.  \nHer mother said,”I have to finish my work.”Her father said,”I am reading the newspaper.  \n”  \nHer brother said,”Can’t you see I am playing cricket?”  \nHer neighbour said,”I have to go to the market to buy things.”  \nHer teacher said,”First, let us do sums .”  \nEveryone was very busy. Everyone was always behind time.  \nMany people were always tired and irritated and certainly had no time at all for stories.  \nOne day Didi came to the little girl’s school. Didi was not a teacher, and she was not a student. She was older than the children and she was younger than the teachers. She had warm eyes and a soft smile.  \nShe was a friend of the children, and she was a friend of the teachers.  \nThe little girl wondered if Didi knew any stories.  \nShe went up to Didi shyly.”Do you have a few minutes? Can you tell me a story?”  \nDidi looked at the little girl very seriously.”Of course,” she said.  \n”I can tell you a story. What kind of story would you like?”  \nThe little girl’s eyes grew big with anticipation.”Can you tell me a story about a lion?”  \n7  \nDidi sat down in the verandah of the school, and started telling the little girl a story about a small lion who was lost in the jungle. The little girl sat still and listened intently.  \nDidi’s story was so vivid that she could feel the wind through the branches of the huge trees in the jungle, the soft swaying sounds of the tall grass, and the velvety fur of the small cub.","cbCaiekbvcxqk14K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiekbvcxqk14K","pdf",2560977,6,37,"English","en",105,"# City of Stories\n## The Busy City\n## The Arrival of Didi\n## The Lion Cub Story","[{\"question\":\"Why couldn't the little girl get stories from people around her?\",\"answer\":\"Everyone in the busy city was too preoccupied with their work, daily chores, or personal activities to have time for storytelling.
